ATTENTION: Windows 10 users

Beta 2 build is now available!

If you just upgraded to Windows 10 or running build 10240 or greater of Win 10 pre-release you will need to download and install the new version of ZoneAlarm 14.0.157.000

SMTP being blocked by Antivirus

I am running the latest ZA (11.0.768.00) with high security for the public domain. Even though I have Thunderbird as Super trusted and allow all in Application control, I cannot send to my SMTP server without switching off the AntiVirus. The email then goes OK. But if I switch AntiVirus back on then I get Connection to the SMTP server failed.

This must be a bug in ZoneAlarm, as AVS should not be effecting the firewall functionality like this, should it

Re: SMTP being blocked by Antivirus

We just finished testing with thunderbird and ZA product with antivirus.

ZA was installed first. Default settings NOTHING was changed in ZA at all.

Then we downloaded and installed thunderbird 17.0.8

Setup TB to connect to a mail server that uses SMTP with SSL/TSL security.

No problems sending out emails at all. Receiving emails is fine also.

Absolutely no issues at all with 11.0.768.00 and thunderbird 17.0.8

So this means you have either a bad install of thunderbird, an add-on to thunderbird which your not telling us about is creating an issue, you have changed some settings in ZA from the default settings or Possibly a bad install of ZA.
